A: i admire your dedication. i could never finish that long laboratory experiment by myself.

B: i fell that i am cut out for that kind of work.

1 she has to quit her job in the laboratory

2 she cut herself while working in the lab

3 she enjoys doing laboratory experiments

4 she feels that the man is dedicated to his work too.

B 的回答是什么意思呀。查了一下CUT OUT 有不再起做用的意思，

这句话理解起来好像是说“我感觉自己在这中工作中已经不起什么作用了”。呵呵，感觉很可笑的翻译，所以选不出答案。请那位友人帮忙解释一下

感谢！

be cut out for something
also be cut out to be something
[usually in questions and negatives] to have the qualities that you need for a particular job or activity
In the end, I decided I wasn't cut out for the army.

Are you sure you're really cut out to be a teacher?

这里的CUT OUT不是 有不再起做用的意思，而是具有某种能力的意思。

所以选C，是说他很喜欢那份工作，也能干得很好
